    They have a snapchat you can add where they're showing all this stuff

    They've shown the diorama for those halo combat scene ads, debug xboxes, THE Xbox, prototype steel battalion controller, and much much more. No DVT3/4 but THE Xbox is nice

    Fan attached to the back - Wait, what? Does that machine actually do something, besides look cool provocative? edit: scratch that, you can clearly see it's an empty shell. Still nice to see they keep things like that around and taken good care of.

    They did have one or two prototypes that worked. And there was stuff before this as well, just not anything striking :p Lots of Xbox history left to be seen

    Looks cool! Quite a different design to the other consoles of the time. Probably would have gotten some flack for being like a computer in terms of the height of the thing, it also probably would have been harder for people to fit into their tv stands since its not the typical profile of a set top box.

    It was never going to be a console in that form. The shell alone cost something like $20,000

    They just keep it in a closet really. It's never going to escape their building.

    What is interesting is it looks unused.
